EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Both the Lelit Anna and the Lelit Anita PID are semi-automatic espresso machines designed for beginners. The Lelit Anna has a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $569, while the Anita PID is slightly higher at $585. Despite the price difference being minor, both machines belong to the same brand and type, appealing to those who are new to espresso making.

Brewing Comparison

When it comes to brewing information, both machines utilize a toggle switch for activation and are built with stainless steel boilers. They share the same brew boiler capacity of 0.25 liters, and their brew group material is brass. The heat-up time is also consistent between the two, ranging from 5 to 15 minutes, and both have a water reservoir capacity of 2.7 liters and a Vibration pump type.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Lelit Anita PID is more advanced than the Lelit Anna. The Anita includes an integrated grinder, as well as PID control with PID degree control, features that are absent in the Anna. Both machines come equipped with a boiler pressure gauge, hot water feature, solenoid valve, and steam wand, but lack steam pressure gauge and concurrent brew steam capabilities. Overall, the Anita PID presents more advanced features targeted towards users seeking more precise control over the brewing process.
